Best Fragrance Names

[funraiser18]

Which house do you think has the best names for the frags in their lineup?

I think I vote Amouage - Epic, Jubilation, Reflection, Lyric, etc.

I would do a poll here, but there are just too many options!!

What do you think?

[Young Dro]

i agree with Amouage

[mr. reasonable]

Guerlain - too many to mention.
Caron also has some very evocative titles.
Amouage approach is also great - there is a theme going on there for sure.

[MassMenace]

Chanel - Allure, No.5, Coco

[MFJ]

I like the sound of these houses and many of their scents:

Serge Lutens
Guerlain
L'Artisan Parfumeur
Parfumerie Generale

[vonMises]

Demeter:

Carrot
Ceder
Celery
Dirt
etc.

[tigrushka]

Caron and Guerlain (for the oldies), L'Artisan, Serge Lutens.

[moon_fish]

old - Guerlain, Caron,
new - Lutens, PG, ELDO

Hermes, as a house, has my favorites.
Guerlain has plenty of good ones too.

Coup de Fouet!

I like the word Insense, by Givenchy! Although not a fan of Rance, I like the name "Le Vainqueur."

And the perfume house name Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier...just *hearing* a man say this gives me chair de poule (goose bumps)! And the scent names and inspirations are wonderful: Jardin du Nil, Parfum d'Habit, Iris Bleu Gris...and the line called "Caprices du Dandy."

Hands down,

Etat libre d'orange

Samples, just to name but a few:

Fat Electrician
Don't Get Me Wrong Baby, I Don't Swallow
Delicious Closet Queen

LOL! All of the ELdO offerings are tongue-in-cheek. And now they are relaunching (for Christmas) "Noel au balcon." Il y a du monde au balcon, indeed... LOL!

[CanwllCorfe]

Encre Noire!

[StylinLA]

Serge Lutens and Amouage very good and consistent with names.

Etat libre d'orange the hands down winner for being most flip and fun.

[Ken_Russell]

Guerlain and Chanel

[Hob Dobson]

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, for the literary and cultural allusions.

[Kevin Guyer]

The Robert Piguet line-up's names are quite sophisticated:
Fracas, Bandit, Futur, Visa, Baghari, Cravache, Calypso.

[Amit]

Parfumerie Generale, for sure

[AromiErotici]

I enjoy MPG's names. I love how "Santal Noble" rolls off the tongue.

[Mimi Gardenia]

Guerlain
Serge Lutens
Caron
and agreeing with Ruggles re. Robert Piguet

[Dane]

The Robert Piguet line-up's names are quite sophisticated:
Fracas, Bandit, Futur, Visa, Baghari, Cravache, Calypso.

This. Until they re-release Dingo anyway.

Lulz...Dingo.

[NillaGoon]

+1 for the Robert Piguet names (Fracas, Bandit, Futur, Visa, etc...) These are exceptionally well-crafted. Classy and yet completely unpretentious and a little bit fun. Almost language-neutral, francophonic without edging into perfume French-comme-il-faut.

I like the Amouage product names, too, but "Amouage" kills it for me. It seems to neatly encapsulate everything that's wrong with perfumery: pretentiousness, pseudo-Frenchiosity, strident insistence that fragrance is all about l'amour. Not to mention the long list of fragrance brands that sound practically identical in that three-syllable-ish a-to-zh-ish sort of way: Alliage, Amarige, Azuree, Aramis, Armani, Arpege, Azzaro... Terrible.

[KMF]

Aramis:

Havana
Tuscany
Devin
JHL
Portos
Aramis
New West


Simple and to the point...

[tonysoprano100]

In Love Again

[SillageMonger]

What about "One Man Show?" What sophistication! LOL!!!

[heparfumerie]

Frederic Malle.

French Lover, En Passant, Carnal Flower, Dans Tes Bras

I'd buy them just for the names.
